Even though it's still early days in terms of production, and my research is not yet complete, I'd still like to do a quick post telling you what my idea is thus far...
Obviously, this is a stop motion film. I already know the song I'm planning to use (I have footage of my focus group to upload once it is edited) and have established a central feel. The action I'm thinking of currently is a late teen male, rising out of bed in the morning, but as he does, several clay characters come alive. They become animated and set about completing his morning chores; making his breakfast, cleaning his shoes, ironing his clothes. Throughout the course of the video the male is gradually prepared for the day ahead and as he walks out the door, the animated characters wave goodbye and go back to sleep.
I realise there are some fairly complex actions to animate there. I think, however, that it will be possible to interweave animated footage of the characters, and filmed footage of the male to bulk out the material. I worked out that if I wanted all three minutes of my videos to be stop-motion animated, I would need to take over two thousand images! I don't think I have the time for that...
